Mornin' Judy.  I do not know just how to respond to your leaving.  My wife has family that no longer speak to one another.  It tears her up, but there is nothing physically that she can do about it, so she prays.  If you choose to leave this group, I will miss you.  You are family.  Still, I cannot grab you and force you to stay.  I cannot even come up with words that might cause you to stay, so let me offer some words that our Savior spoke.  They may cause you to reconsider, and if they don't they may be of value wherever you go.  Please consider them seriously.
Turn the other cheek.
Go the extra mile.
 Love your neighbor, and your enemy, whether they return that love or not.
If you follow me, expect persecution.
Count it all joy.

We love you Judy, maybe with a very imperfect love that needs much improvement, but we love you none the less.  Borrow some of that thick skin from the old Mormon boy and hang in there like a hair in a biscuit.  We still have much to learn from one anothering.
Terry
